AWS appstream2: Concepts: MCP service tools include app launch/switch
Summary
Updates the MCP service concept definition to include launching and switching between cataloged applications among the tools agents can use during a streaming session.
Security assessment
Definitional text expanded with new tool capabilities; the SigV4/IAM authentication statement is pre-existing and unchanged, so there is no new security guidance or fix.
Evidence
+The managed _MCP service_ (`agentaccess-mcp`) provides AI agents with tools to click buttons, enter text, scroll, take screenshots of the desktop, and launch and switch between cataloged applications. Agents use these tools during a streaming session. Agents connect to the MCP service at a fixed endpoint using AWS IAM credentials with SigV4 signing. The MCP service is available when agent access is enabled on a stack.
